Everything Bagel Quinoa Cakes with Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche

I think it’s safe to say that an everything bagel would be included in my last meal. However, unwilling to eat that amount of carbs very often, I’ve taken to flavoring other, healthier things with the “everything” seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons dried minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Directions

  • Make the Everything Bagel Seasoning: In small bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use. You will have a little bit left over to sprinkle on other things.
  • Make the Quinoa Cakes: In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the quinoa, breadcrumbs, and cheese; then stir until well combined. Form the mixture into four 1/2-inch thick cakes. Sprinkle both sides of the cakes with Everything Seasoning, then lightly pat to adhere.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray skillet with cooking spray, then carefully add the cakes. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until cakes are golden brown.
  • Serve quinoa cakes topped with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and chives.
